It seems that Ntsiki Mazwai has not taken lessons from the lawsuit she faced due to DJ Euphonik over her defamatory remarks made about him in 2021, as she recently levied serious accusations against DJ Shimza.
On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the well-known activist, who requested donations for her birthday, claimed that the 36-year-old music producer and DJ had been purchasing slots to perform on an international stage.
This statement emerged following the announcement that DJ Shimza received a nomination for the DJ Awards, which are prestigious annual electronic music accolades hosted in Ibiza, often likened to the “Oscars of dance music,” for their recognition of DJs and individuals who have made significant contributions to the global electronic music landscape. The awards, established in 1998, include a diverse array of categories that adapt to the latest trends and encompass specific accolades for artists, clubs, festivals, and industry professionals.
Here’s what Ntsiki Mazwai had to say:

Social media users criticize Ntsiki for her claims about DJ Shimza
Immediately after Ntsiki Mazwai’s assertions about DJ Shimza spread on social media, numerous users voiced their disapproval of the activist’s statements against the DJ. Here’s how they responded:
@Nhlamulo_Pardon remarked:
“He has been performing internationally for quite some time. Are you suggesting that all the slots were purchased? You really love the drama, no wonder people keep telling you to take a bath, even if you did one last week.”
@CokeorMeth asked:
“Don’t we all pay when we want our music or talent to be showcased, with the hope that once it gains fame, we won’t need to pay anymore and can start charging?”
@ManPitso commented:
“I see no issue with that. Companies invest significantly in marketing through ad placements on digital platforms. So if he paid his way while rising to the top to become the DJ he is today, I would take the same route.”
@phestahiver expressed:
“If it’s about expanding their brands, why not? I just purchased an ad in an international online engineering magazine, and I will utilize that article to attract more local and global clients. It’s time you invested in marketing as well to enhance your media presence.”
@NyakiFrozenFire responded:
“Which is beneficial as it provides them exposure. It’s an excellent marketing approach, a worthwhile investment, and a valuable learning experience since they will understand what resonates with international audiences. They might even get booked again if they perform well.”
